Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is widely recognized for the high level of care and compassion shown by its staff to residents, regardless of the complex medical or psychiatric needs they may have. Numerous reviewers have commended the team for their dedication, citing examples of residents with challenging conditions like Huntington's disease receiving outstanding care. The staff's communication with families, their understanding, and the effort they put into maintaining a positive environment have been highlighted as key strengths. The medical support system, especially in psychiatric care, has been effective and well-received, contributing to noticeable improvements in resident well-being.
Despite the positive feedback, some concerns were mentioned. The facility itself is described as older and, in one case, somewhat unsettling in appearance; however, it was noted for being clean and odor-free, which is often not the case with similar institutions. Staffing issues were cited in a few reviews, suggesting that while the team works hard and cares deeply for their residents, there might be a need for more support or additional help. Nevertheless, the overall sentiment is that the quality of care and the staff's commitment far outweigh the challenges posed by the building's age or staff shortages. The community comes highly recommended by many for the attentive and compassionate care it provides.
